ActiveStorage::Preview#processed? is true as soon as ffmpeg's frame is attached, but the poster is a
variant of that frame and can fail on its own: the POST rescues a Vips::Error and leaves the frame
attached. The view then emitted the poster's URL, and every view retried the resize. It now checks the
variant too, from the variant records with_attached_attachment already preloads.

A video's preview and a picture's thumbnail are made inside the request that posts the message, and
nothing bounded how long either could take.
- The video preview filter also selects any frame from 5 seconds on. Rails' filter takes the second
frame it selects, which a video with a single keyframe and no scene change only gives at its end, so
ffmpeg decoded all of it.
- TimeLimitedVideoPreviewer gives ffmpeg 10 seconds of wall-clock time, kills it past that, and reports
a failed preview, so the message is posted without one.
- Pictures and videos above 250 megapixels, or whose size couldn't be read, get no preview: decoding
costs in proportion to the pixels, however small the file.
- The view shows a preview only if it was made when the message was posted. Its URL used to make it on
view, so a preview that failed or was skipped would be attempted again on every view. The cached
presentation's version goes up, so cached messages pick this up.
- A video's poster is made, when the message is posted, at the size the view shows it. The full-size WebP
made until now wasn't shown anywhere, and encoding it costs in proportion to the frame's pixels.

* Bump thruster 0.1.15 → 0.1.23
* Scrub disallowed attributes on allowed tags in message rendering
SanitizeTags removes disallowed tags from message presentation, but
attributes on the tags it allows passed through untouched. Extend the
content-filter chain with a SanitizeAttributes filter that runs Rails'
safe-list sanitizer over the remaining markup, stripping event-handler
attributes and unsafe URI schemes as defense-in-depth alongside the
existing Content-Security-Policy.
Running it after SanitizeTags with the same allowed-tags list makes the
sanitizer's tag pass a no-op, preserving SanitizeTags' remove-not-unwrap
semantics while scrubbing attributes. The attribute allowlist is the
standard ActionText set (which keeps attachments intact) plus class,
which presentation styling relies on.
